Nourish & Flourish - A Darwin Community Conversation on Wellbeing

Your body and mind weren't built to run on sugar, stress, and second-hand advice.

Nourish & Flourish is a free, community-led afternoon of honest conversation about the health choices that actually make a difference — led by Darwin doctors, nurses and wellbeing practitioners who live here too.

This afternoon is for you if...

• You're managing diabetes or another chronic health condition

• You're caring for a family member and want better tools to support them

• You're simply curious about the small habits that create big, lasting change

• You want real answers to your health questions — without the Dr Google spiral

What you'll walk away with

• Practical, doable tools you can start using that same week

• The chance to ask GPs, nurses & specialists your own questions, face to face

• A taste of yoga, myofascial release and sound healing you can actually feel, not just hear about

• A fuller picture of health — medical, practical and personal, all in one room

On the day, you'll hear from

• Linda Conder, Nutritionist — practical, evidence-based nutrition for gut and brain health

• Dr Marilynne Kirshbaum (RN, PhD) — what clinical hypnotherapy is, and how it can support people living with diabetes

• Dr Jinesh Padmaka Silva, General Practitioner — a GP's perspective on chronic disease management and prevention

• Mariah Rivera, ICU Registered Nurse — her personal story, "Surviving to Thriving"

• Lee Plowman — The Identity Method™, a short self-reflection activity you can try on the day

• Nicole & Courtney, AGOY Yoga — a hands-on taster of yoga, myofascial release and sound healing

• Plus guest voices from Darwin's Christian and Buddhist communities
